12. Colt .44
Theme suggested by getting fed up
with the western movies
Bankers and the sheriff stole our land in '85
Broke my mother's will and left my father half alive
Before he died I asked him what there was we could have done, and he said
Do yourself a favor, go and practice with this gun
Colt .44, opens any door
Rode out with the Clancys and we lived on what we stole
Til the night that Kinkade made off with the gold
We tracked him down in Utah, he knew his life was done
We left him in the desert, hung and blistering in the dust and sun
Colt .44, evens any score
Rode north and enlisted in the war against the Sioux
Must have burned a hundred camps in 1892
First we'd kill the warriors, scalp the kids and then when that was through
We'd fuck the women, then we'd kill them too
Colt .44, I won't be poor no more

13. Highway of Light
I kept dreaming that the man wouldn't die
I couldn't quite get the gun to fire
The knife broke in my hand, the bat cracked on his head,
He just stood there, and he said
What keeps you here with me - when it's time to make amends and leave
Dreams keep blurring all the women I knew
They blend together and they're all part you
Once upon a time, they were real, they were mine
Go away, and maybe they'll speak to me again
Why're you here with me - when it's time to get things straight and leave
I've got the highway in mind Come come in on the come in on the highway of light
I should've left before "
I can't be here anymore "
I've got the highway ahead "
Put me out on the road, on through the night Come come come along
Anywhere that it goes, that'll be about right Come along home
If it's too far to see, if it leads out of sight "
Let it shine for me, help me out with a light "
Leave a light for me, I'm coming home tonight "
Yeah, well I'm coming Come along
I'm on the highway of light Shining on
Carrying me home "
Roll out the road "
I'm on the highway of light
Must be the highway of light

16. Get Out of the Car
Music inspired by the Isley
Brothers, "He's Got You"
I must have been on Mars the day I let this thing begin
Now I only want to see it end
Let's you and me pretend I never let you in
You go home or I'll go around the bend
I've had it - Hey princess - Get out of the car
No more gazing at the stars, no more soulful sighs
No more wondering what does she want now
No more favors, no more money, no more bullshit lies
Grab your toothbrush - we're going out
I've had it - Yeah you - Get out of the car
Now I might be some kind of touch but I'm not carrying dead weight
You ain't worth it, anchors aweigh
You hear that lonesome whistle? There goes your free ride
Hold your breath, you're going over the side
I've had it - Why are you still here? - Get out of the car
Asshole.
